MANILA, Philippines -- Anti-crime crusaders said on Friday that the arrest of another suspect in the killing of car dealer Venson Evangelista could help strengthen the case against alleged masterminds Roger and Raymond Dominguez.

Joel Jacinto, who was arrested in his home in Las Piñas City Thursday, admitted his involvement in the murder of Evangelista, whose burned corpse was found in Cabanatuan City in Nueva Ecija in January 2011.

He said he was employed by the Dominguez brothers as their driver when they met with the victim.

Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) President Dante Jimenez told radio dzMM, "With the revelation now of Jacinto, then it will strengthen lalo 'yung case against Dominguez brothers and the carjacking syndicate."
